a mirror not reflect all, but only the face
we turn to dust what wise men say

of all the miseries when this world is done our night will eat the glittering sun the world today is a world of shame the world today would forever be the same superb great 10++++++++++++++++++++++++++
when truth lay close, we close our eyes our sight lighten when it meets the lies of all the miseries when this world is done our night will eat the glittering sun. very fine poem with wonderful theme dear poet........ thank u for your deep reflections....... thank u again. tony
Brave utterances set aside for honest reflection. An insightful creation in verse with rhythmic splendour. A brilliant work of art. Thanks for sharing Kanav and do remain enriched.
Excellent poem! This poem delighted me. Thanks a lot poet Kanav justa.
A sad but very true poem. Your words reflect much of what existes in the world today. Our world is often a cold cuel place, filled with to many people who think to much of themselves, and not enough for others. There is still much beauty and peace in the world, but it becomes harder to see with the growing darkness that is spreading, eating our 'glittering sun.' I try to spend at least part of every day seeing the beauty that still exists. Darla :)
A perfect picture of the world as on date. Very frankly as I see that the good things on his earth are gradually sinking day by day... very good penning.
world today would be forever be the same, the people strive only for fame, hiding in the shadow of his shame, spraying perfume in his name. :) nice write. thanks for sharing.
The present world is what you write very well...I've lived thru world war 2 when mans madness was at its height with 50 million plus dead...since then a war somewhere has erupted the rest of the world is a holiday camp...regards kanav
this is the only place we do have to live in. If the people of the world would come together and offer a support team this world would be much better. Excellent write
marvellous write! a 11/10 from me Kanav.......u have focussed on every minute thing that is happening in the real life and so truly have exhibited your feelings towards them, ......i completely agree with you on this twin sided face of life and people and hope one day we see a better world than now!
A great poem, shame in the world is the wars, the cause of most things, something that may never change.
very ironical, very right..yes, this is what we all do...and we shall keep on doing if not checked by such write ups as yours, Kanav Justa... despite knowing the answers all we tread on a path where we bound to fall when truth lay close, we close our eyes our sight lighten when it meets the lies...this last line quoted here has Bacon like idea as he said in his essay, Of Truth...A MIXTURE OF A LIE DOTH EVER ADD PLEASURE! ! !
Where death gives more joy than when a child is born Very sad and so many great lines in your write. Thank you for your heartfelt write Kanav. I am impressed on how you care for Our World. Thank you
with swords and guns, not faith and love.............an amazing poem again from your pen.
A hardhitting poem on tday's selfish cruel world. The 3rd stanza was esp admirable, which ends with gun n swords. Lets hope 2o14 people learn to luv not hate.
, , , , , nice Poem! ... World Today Is A World Of Shame!
" tongue says of love but inside there is " forthright, on the target like an arrow.
